PKK in Syria: A Hedge Against Turkey or a Provocation?

With both nations deploying tanks along their mutual border and tensions soaring, attention is once again being brought to the operation of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters inside Syria, and how this impacts their already frayed relationship with Turkey.

Experts see Syrian President Bashar Assad increasingly allowing PKK sites in his country, and even welcoming them as a possible hedge against Turkey’s ongoing backing of the various Syrian rebel factions.

The PKK have played up this role in recent months, threatening to turn Turkish Kurdistan into a “warzone” if Turkish forces invade Syria. Given how much the PKK has escalated the fight against Turkey in recent months, exactly how much more they can do is unclear.

And indeed, as the PKK escalates inside Turkey, Turkish officials have been hinting at using their presence as yet another excuse for invading Syria, reflecting the double-edged sword the group could be for the regime.

The grand scheme of things being our Empire’s desire for a one-world government, bringing into submission the renegade nations like Syria and Iran would be a must thing to do. Problem is, Syria and Iran have the two governments most beloved by their people in all of the Middle-East and North Africa. Surely, and any forced regime change is going to leave Empire USA with a whole lot of egg on its face.

Enemies of my enemy are my friends. This old adage is sitting tightly on situation between Turkey and Syria now. It would be highly hypocritical from Turks to claim surprise by alleged Syria's support to Kurds. Kurds in Syria are as worried by onslaught of Sunni rebels and terrorists from all around the word as Assad's own Alawites are. Kurds in Turkey hate Turks for decades of discrimination and genocidal tendencies of this country against them. Turks are hunting Kurdish rebels with all heavy weaponry they have in Turkey and even in cross border attacks in Iraq. There is no outcry of support from Americans and Europeans and NATO for killed Kurdish rebels, no "friends of Kurdistan" no arms no salaries for Kurdish rebels.
